Large Cities Climate Leadership Group

Message par jancancook le Mar 1 Mar - 19:01

The Large Cities Climate Leadership Group, also known as the C40 Cities (and originally as the C20 Cities) is a group of cities working to reduce urban carbon emissions and to adapt to climate change. It believes it has an important role to play as cities contain around 50% of the world's population, consume 75% of the world's energy, and produce 80% of its greenhouse gases.[1] The group's secretariat is based in London.

The group was founded after a meeting of delegations from 18 cities at the October 2005 World Cities Leadership Climate Change Summit, organised by the Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone.

On August 1, 2006, the group signed a memorandum of understanding with the William J. Clinton Foundation's Climate Initiative,[2] under which the Clinton Foundation will provide technical and communications support.
